Sitana City

Just when the soldiers were caught between a rock and a hard place, an army began to swarm out of the city. The person leading the army was a young man wearing heavy, black armor. He was tall and handsome, with well-defined features. He was angry to see the travelers stopped at the gate, with no people getting in to trade or spend their money. But he gasped at the sight of Halalei, his anger falling by the wayside. 

"Brother Halalei, when did you arrive at Sitana City?"

"Masseus, we got here a while ago, but I was nearly chopped to pieces by your men, instead of welcomed!" Halalei shouted, letting his exasperation show. "I heard that something has happened in the city. Is uncle alright?"

Masseus looked from Lamada's slumped form to the soldiers that still surrounded Halalei and his traveling companions. He barked at the team captain to explain the situation. Soon enough, he was up to speed on the day's events.
